Sea Search Research & Conservation is a research focused NPO based in Cape Town, South Africa. We currently have openings for 2 long-term volunteers for the period 01 Sep to 30 Nov 2019 to assist with data processing, outreach activities and ad hoc field work focusing on humpback whales and humpback dolphins. As an integral part of a small team working with the project directors and post graduate students - this is a great way to get a wide range of research experience. Volunteers will be directly involved in all day to day activities including data input, photo ID and/or acoustic data processing, public outreach and equipment maintenance but will mainly work on a dedicated data set or project. We welcome participants who might be interested in working on a specific project with the possibility of continuing this as part of their own studies. Placement may be undertaken as credit towards your under- or post-graduate degree (course dependent). Please note, there is an associated fee which covers supervision, training and a contribution to the project for the period. Additionally - volunteers maybe interested in joining the marine mammal research techniques course being run in Nov (see website for details) Please contact info@seasearch.co.za with a CV and brief motivation by email.
